import custom from ttf

[Patrone411]

hey there,
is there a way for me to import fonts that are not available on google fonts from a ttf font file format or something similar?
cheers,

Yes, but you'll need to write a bit more code. Here's a rough sketch of what you need:

• Copy, with modifications, the CSS from an SVG with an embedded font (like

  drawsvg/examples/font.svg

  starting from @font)
• Read your font file in Python as a bytes object (TTF, WOFF, or WOFF2. I suggest the WOFF format for best browser compatibility.)
• Encode the bytes as a data URL like this:

  drawsvg/drawsvg/font_embed.py

  Line 13 in 651c36b

  return url_encode.bytes_as_data_uri(data, strip_chars='', mime=mime)

• Insert this data URL into the CSS from above.
• Use Drawing.append_css() to add the font.
• Use the font in the drawing.
